minutesSavor the essence of summer with mango lassi, a beloved Indian drink. Creamy yogurt blends with ripe mangoes, creating a refreshing delight. Indulge in this tropical treat for a taste of South Asian sunshine.
Ingredients
1 ripe mango, peeled and diced (about 1 cup of mango chunks)
1 cup plain yogurt
1/2 cup milk (you can use dairy or non-dairy milk like almond milk)
2-3 tablespoons honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom (optional, but adds a traditional flavor)
A handful of ice cubes (optional, for a colder lassi)
Saffron strands for garnish (optional)
Directions
- Prepare the Mango: Wash the mango, peel it, and cut the flesh away from the pit. Chop the mango into chunks.
- Blend: In a blender, combine the diced mango, plain yogurt, milk, honey or sugar, and ground cardamom (if using). If you like your lassi colder, you can also add a handful of ice cubes.
- Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients on high speed until smooth and creamy. If the lassi is too thick, you can add a bit more milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste and Adjust: Taste the lassi and adjust the sweetness by adding more honey or sugar if needed. You can also adjust the thickness by adding more yogurt or milk if desired.
- Serve: Pour the mango lassi into glasses. If you’d like, you can garnish each glass with a few strands of saffron for an elegant touch.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious and refreshing mango lassi!
Notes
- Mango lassi is best enjoyed chilled, so you can refrigerate it for a while before serving or add extra ice cubes if you prefer it colder.
